Black Mountain

The greening of the mountains from Tanbark Ridge overlook, elevation 3175 feet, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. The road seen in upper left is the parkway as it continues northeast. Can you see the little houses, including my favorite, the red roofed one?

Garden: Peony

This is the first full bloom on the bush in my neighbor's front garden.  It's perfect.

Buds are all over the place though!

Quote for the day:


Sometimes I go about pitying myself, and all the time I am being carried on great winds across the sky.
